being sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under said Act and
laws. The Stockholders also understand that shares of Electric City Common Stock
issued in the Merger may not be resold except pursuant to the S-1 Registration
Statement, or an applicable exemption from registration. The Stockholders hereby
make the following representations, warranties, agreements and acknowledgments
on which Electric City shall rely in claiming such exemptions:
1. Each Stockholder is an "accredited investor" under applicable
securities laws in that the Stockholder:
(a) is a person having a net worth (assets at fair market
value less all liabilities) or a joint net worth, together with the
Stockholder's spouse, in excess of $1,000.000; or
(b) has an individual income (without including any income of the
Stockholder's spouse) in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most
recent years and reasonably expects an income in excess of $200,000 in
the current year. ("Income" means adjusted gross income for federal
income tax purposes, plus (i) any deduction for depletion, (ii) any
exclusion for interest, (iii) any partnership losses allocated to the
Stockholder as a limited partner of a partnership, and (iv) any
employer contributions to which the Stockholder has a vested right.);
or
(c) has joint income with such Stockholder's spouse in excess of
$300,000 in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expects to
have joint income in excess of $300,000 in the current year.
OR
(d) the Stockholder is NOT an "accredited investor" because the
Stockholder does not meet any of the foregoing standards.
If the Stockholder has indicated above that he is an "accredited investor," such
Stockholder agrees to furnish such information as Electric City may reasonably
require to permit Electric City to verify such representation.
2. Each Stockholder is a bona fide resident of the state set forth
in his address below and agrees that, in the event such Stockholder's principal
residence or principal executive office is changed prior to the Closing Date,
such Stockholder will promptly notify Electric City.

Stock to be issued to such Stockholder in the Merger will be acquired solely by
and for the account of such

Stockholder, and are not being purchased with a view to, or in connection with
a, distribution, unless pursuant to an effective registration statement;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent a sale
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144").
5. Each Stockholder acknowledges that the stock certificates issued
as evidence of the shares of Electric City Common Stock to be issued to the
Stockholders in the Merger will bear restrictive legends and stop transfer

its transfer agent as to the transfer of shares of Electric City Common Stock
under the S-1 Registration Statement.

the Stockholders in any of shares of Electric City Common Stock to be issued to
the Stockholder in the Merger except (i) in accordance with offering terms and
conditions specified in the S-1 Registration Statement and upon the submission
